WU_E_DS_INVALIDOPERATION
WU_E_DS_INVALIDOPERATION means the requested operation is not permitted for the current Windows Update object or state. It is commonly returned when a caller tries to change a protected service or uses an API method in an unsupported way.
How to diagnose it
- Check the exact API method and the state of the service or update object before the call.
- Confirm that the action is supported for the selected service and Windows version.
- Do not convert this into a destructive workaround against the update store.
